Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Floral Rug In Pale Sand Hand-Knotted Wool – Circa 1920 BB8049 7'7" × 10'8" $26,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1920 in the refined weaving tradition of northwestern Persia, is hand-knotted in wool and composed with the measured elegance for which Tabriz carpets are prized. Its palette is anchored by a pale sand ground, giving the piece an open, luminous presence from the first glance.

Rather than a single central medallion, the field settles into an allover floral trellis, with scrolling vines, palmettes, and small rosettes repeating in a disciplined rhythm. Soft powder blue and light blue outlines rise gently across the surface, while brown accents provide definition and keep the pattern legible without disturbing the rug’s restrained character.

A narrow inner border and broader outer frame complete the composition with flowering tendrils and small repeating ornaments, reinforcing the rug’s balanced, architectural feel. The effect is formal yet quietly relaxed: an antique Tabriz that brings pattern, age, and understated color to interiors seeking historical depth with an airy hand.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
